KAYENTA NEW PLAY LAB
Am I a Good Dog?
by Rook Reilley
The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
Join us for the opening reading of a new play as part of the 2026 Kayenta New Play Lab! Am I a Good Dog follows Max, who returns to their hometown years after moving away—only to find a missing poster with their face on it. A dramedy exploring identity, family, Queerness, and life in rural Utah.
Stay for the guided talkback after the show with the playwright, director, and cast. Discuss the play, ask questions, and learn more about the development process. Be part of shaping new theater by providing your own feedback and delving deeper into the creative process.
